Betsey waited a few minutes before she crept down the tree trunk and shifted back to human. She put on her clothes and went around the side of the house, so she could enter through the front door. As she came around the garage, the middle girl was waiting for her. And Betsey knew she was waiting for her. Betsey froze in mid-step, gazing down at the kid with her mouth slightly open. The kid stared up at her for what felt like forever and then, with a little smile, she placed her forefinger against her lips and said, “Shhhhh.”
Well, that'd be terrifying, good black bear no swat!
